- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2023
- Emergency security measures remain in place in Moscow, after a rebellion by Wagner mercenaries that has shaken the position of the Russian president.
In a startling 24 hours, Vladimir Putin faced the greatest challenge to his authority since coming to power more than two decades ago.
While the immediate risk seems contained, Russia experts say Putin does not emerge looking strong, but rather badly bruised.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made a TV address after Yevgeny Prigozhin's attempted mutiny on Saturday.

16 months, a quarter million casualties, equipment losses in the 20,000+ range, and one rebellion. This has been one hell of a 3 day special operation.
3 days was western propaganda. Russia is not slaughtering everybody in Ukraine.
Do you know how many soldiers america lost in Vietnam all in the name of spreading democracy and didn’t achieve it because Vietnam isn’t one right now
Great point, Bush said the same thing about Iraq
@@kay2914 - We lost about a quarter the number Russia has in Ukraine so far, and it took us ten years. We also weren't trying to conquer a sovereign country and annex its territory or exterminate its people.
@@kay2914US losses were less than 1/4 of russian losses in Ukraine
Over an 8 year period. There is no spinning this one. The US never had their cities under attack and mercenary groups marching on their capital.
The problem with being a dictator is that a pleasant retirement is usually not an option.

It seems odd that Putin praised the citizens considering how they ran into the streets to cheer Wagner and take selfies with Prigozhian.
Putin abounded the Wagner soldiers. Putin did not sent armament . Some Wagner soldiers died because without armament how can fight.
They were happy that everything ended without any bloodshed, which means that they indeed wanted a stable, united Russia.
Have you, as always, been shown half?))) And they did not show people who scolded soldiers for such betrayal in a difficult moment for the motherland. Have you at least understood the essence of the conflict? The main subject of the quarrel between Prigozhin and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is how to kill the Ukronazists better, faster and more. Like: Prigozhin says: "Yes, I will bomb Ukraine in 2 weeks, intimidate Europe and America and live peacefully!" And Shoigu replies: "Get out, you bloody soldier! You don't understand anything, we still have to live in this world!"
They Cheered for the Wagner as they LEFT; thats not praise. Remember the Ukrainians cheered for Russian soldiers as they withdrew from Kyiv
All are Russians; if a leader of the Russian people cannot have the breadth and tolerance, then that person cannot be the leader of Russia.
"W-We would've suppressed the mutiny anyway!"
This is literally one of the most pathetic save face the world has ever seen.
Russia blaming West for their failures 😂 That’s beyond pathetic 😂
It's also why they keep failing!
nothing new tho
It's all these tinpot countries have,like NK holding rallies crying about the big bad US whilst their people starve n die of disease we in the west dealt with in the 1800's.
yeah its just not fair on the west the iraqis, syrians, libyans, afghans they all blame the west for no reason they are just bad guys dood
What failure? The staged coup 😂
Interesting how he refuses to mention Prigozhin, lol.
Too scared to. Putin the sad ressentiment clown is a fragile coward. His days are numbered, blood is in the water and the sharks are circling.
Because Wagner chief is cheap guy. Putin is very wise man as well as president of the third most powerful country on the earth after China and US.
Who's Prigozhin ? 😆
@@tristanwilkinson9516 Well we all know Putin for the sad ressentiment clown he is. What an inept total loser he is, soiling his pants and begging the Russian people to come save him. The world laughs at Putin. What a complete joke he has made of Russia.
Yep, very revealing, and reinforces the old investigative principle of 'cui bono'... "who benefits", in this case Prigozhin who's now emerged as an 'alternative' to Putin, amidst conspicuously sympathetic fans along the way from Rostov.... and Lukashenko as 'mediator', who BTW, also gets a powerful new 'ally' against Putin's further strong-arming. Oh, and Belarus, which now also has nukes, is much _closer_ to Moscow than Rostov.
I can’t see seasoned Wagner mercs accepting the salary of a Russian soldier.
Going to be trouble
Yes! And they aren't nice guys!
Imagine having your salary cut by 1000% 😂
You state that a mutiny failed. That is not correct. It was averted.
Putin went harder on poor britney griner than he did on progozhin
True. But Griner doesn't deserve any sympathy. The dude talks shit about the US nonstop even though it's a free, liberal country. He loved Russia enough to go LIVE there, in an ACTUAL oppressive country, gets imprisoned! We bend over backwards to make a deal, and STILL doesn't get that people in the US do NOT like him. Sorry, "her" LOL
Great point
True
Everyone from the failed coup is alive and well .
That tells you Putin is not in full control .
She should've kill some russians while going under arrest, this would ensure she'd get out the same day. If only we knew...
He looks unsettled. Multiple state TV ramblings also don't help. His visible anger shows he is scared.
He should be for the loss of Ukrainian lives.
I think when he “ran away” when Wagner were over 200 miles from Moscow showed he was a coward. The Russians were in the suburbs of Kiev and Zelensky was still there. Putin is a pussy talking tough
He's become the incredible shrnking dictator.
Could well be and even if he’s not particularly scared, he certainly knows the danger as his anger may also be the acknowledgment of the trouble he could be in.

This happens in America too.
Like reading the NYT
Putin will never let the coup leader get away with this ! This makes him weaker in power ! Hopefully this is the start of the end of the Ukraine war and bring peace to everyone ,
Hope not more warrrrrrrrr
weak... he is the leader of a third world country that thinks that they are great... portugal is even bigger... :D
Zeleinsy prefers to stuff body bags before he will negotiate and continue to piss off his neighbor...
Like Putin said " the west wants to fight until the last ukrainian , Its a tragedy "
but fake news wants to create their own narrative
You wanted to say russian war in Ukraine, do you feel the difference?
IT WAS A PROTEST AGAINST RUSSIAN GENERALS WHO MISTAKENLY BOMBED ONE OF WAGNER BUSES
Not having a translator for an expected announcement from the president of Russia after a historic “significant statement” is a joke.
The BBC did say they were getting their feed from other international news groups who usually provide translation services.

This is one area where I agree with my own country. No one should run a country longer than 8 years.
You need term limits because elected leaders eventually forget what they're there for, and just morph into rulers. And they basically learn how to never be un-elected, so nobody has a choice anymore.
WELL, THE USA GOT RID OF OUR FASCIST LEADER, WHO WAS GOING TO PULL A "PUTIN," ON US AND CALL HIMSELF, KING!!

So true
The corrupt DICKtators always change the Constitution so they can run for longer terms. After this is done, they again change it so they rule for life along with eliminating all political opponents.
Trump has lead up to changing the Constitution, commented on many occasions (his typical build up b4 bold moves) that he NEEDS to change it and if (heaven forbid) he takes 2024, he WILL change much in the Constitution.
THEN all the DICKtators will rule the world, because as it stands, US leads the fight against tyranny and New World Order. With out them, the rest of NATO can not stand against a corrupt USA, Ruzzia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, Hungary ...
I also agree 100% with terms. But violent, vile, evil little men who repeatedly destroy tens of thousands of lives for their own gain, start illegal wars and constant crimes against humanity, tend to do what ever they like.

Until nothing good gets done in short terms of power. Nothing but back and forth with opposing parties every few years, just to end up worse off than before.
Regardless of the country claiming it it'll always amaze me how any country blames another country for their internal government issues making everything the fault of the easiest country to blame instead of looking at the whole problem and fixing it
Yup ! That's what happens when you have a dictator at the top.
Every fascist regime needs an external enemy as a nebulous threat to keep the peasants nervous, and an internal one to justify repressing the peasants. Russians are used to things working that way.

It's funny to hear from someone who pardoned them 2 days ago.
Pardoned means: sure, you can live happily in Belarus, just watch out for them stairs and windows
Same little guy who said those ruzzian troops on Ukraine border are doing exercises and will never attack.
Isn’t it already? Just throwing conscripts to the frontline seems like a bloodbath to me.
This is the thing. At this point Prigozhin would probably have been safer with his buddies in Central Africa than in Belarus.
How embarrassing for little Vlad that he needed to be saved by big Luka...
If Ukraine had bombed a vital oil depot, shot down loads of helicopters and jets and blown up all the roads south of Moscow it would be seen as a major strike.. But because it was totally due to Putin's inept leadership its not presented as catastrophic. Does he ever accept responsibility?

It's always helpful to hear Putin speak in Russian with no translation. Seriously though, it is
significant that some Russian newspapers are now openly critical of Putin. This looks like a turning point
in Russian history. We'll see.

@@TariqNasheed235 - If Putin was smart, he wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine.
Because prigozhins goal wasn't to shed blood, he said we are going to protest until their desires are met. He was not aggressive in rostov. And putins exact words didt say Wagner wanted blood to be spilled. But he said " russian enemy and the west " (assuming thos who are against him is with the west)
Translation: Vlad was saying his behind was drilled by wagner. 😆😆😆
If I was Prigozhin I would avoid all16 Story buildings that Russians tend to fall from.
I have a bad feeling about this. It might be a convoluted excuse for Wagner to move out of eastern Ukraine into Belarus and into northern Ukraine. But then again I am most likely wrong.
We know all statements from Russia are FAKE news as Trump would day.
Interesting theory. I shouldn't praise you too much for your appropriately modest self-assessment, eh?
Northern Ukraine? As in the Eastern or Western section? Because that would be an especially difficult endeavor.
From the moment that Russia invaded Ukraine, I always wondered what would happen if someone decided to do a sneak attack on Moscow when most of their army was away. Never figured it would come from within 😂

It’s incredible the BBC does not have a translator in their organization available at this time. Also, with technology today translation is extremely easy.
He didn’t really say anything though . The useful “west is to blame for everything and nazis and traitors, we need to unite in the face of danger”
I wouldn’t trust translation software to be accurate. The BBC’s Russian correspondent ( Russian) who has been reporting and analysing events as mentioned in the broadcast was making the translation although it appears not in real time.

Of course the West is to blame. People who live in repressed societies love the West. They love the freedoms of the West. They love the privileges of the West.

Prigozhin had to make a fuss over the last few months as his gains were pathetic even if "better" than anything that the Russian regular army could show. Having captured Bakhmut after several months of intense combat (far from an impressive feat considering the amount of time and Wagner casualties involved) he was clearly looking for an escape route to get the hell out of Ukraine. Obviously he was told by Putin and friends "thanks for Bakhmut... now get back to attempting to liberate the rest of the Donbas" but that wasn't a job he wanted. With no clear easy exit strategy for Wagner forces and his own ass as well this mutiny was his one route out the only other option being to fight on against an ever increasingly powerful Ukrainian army. Sometimes it's rather difficult for the rat to leave the sinking ship. Now Prigozhin just needs to impress (if he hasn't already) to Putin and the elite of Russia that he and Wagner are crucial to Russia in the rest of the world and he can maybe go on his way along with important elements of his Wagner forces who were formerly fighting in Ukraine... the conscripted prisoners and anyone not deemed important he will abandon to be absorbed into the Russian army.
They actually did rather well considering Wagner is a mercenary force with supply issues (Russian Army) fighting a professionally trained army that outnumbered them with the support of many countries, and billions in funding.
